Selanne had an awesome career and was consistently one of the best producers in the league, but I think it’s forgotten or not emphasized enough how incredible he was in his rookie year. If he played in a larger market, it would probably be more talked about more.
It helped that he had guys like Housley Zhamnov (very underrated player), Tkachuk, and Numminen playing with him, but Selanne’s career after that speaks for itself.
